Beautiful corner condo with a great view of the bay. Condo is roomy and was perfect for our family of 8 to include all grown children and one early teen. Beds were very comfortable, kitchen had everything you need to make a great meal, plenty of linens and towels. We enjoyed our stay and will be back!

Rosa, thank you so much for this great review. We love hearing that you felt at home in our condo and hope to see you back soon.
The condo was very spacious. Could have used a deep clean (I'm picky) but surface was clean enough. Great lanai, beds were super comfy, huge TV, well stocked, nice overall. We had a great time.
